When we are open to the public guided tours last approx. 1 hour. The tour visits several rooms on the ground floor and first floor, concluding in the library wing with easy access onto the lawn & Orangery tea room.
Due to the delicate nature of many of the objects within the house, we operate a checked bag system for rucksacks etc. These have on previous occasions inadvertently knocked over items causing damage & breakages. Please do not bring large bags to the house tour unless you are happy for these to be stored whilst you enjoy the guided tour.
